1. Connect your instrument to the USB port on your computer using a USB cable.
2. With the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite running, the computer will automatically
recognize the instrument. This may take several seconds. When the instrument is recognized, your computer will
display the VISA alias, IDN string, and VISA address. This information is located in the USB folder. You can also view
the instrument’s VISA address from the front panel menu.
3. You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instrument, or you can
program your instrument using the various programming environments.
LAN connections - site and private (E36312A and E36313A only)
A
site LAN
is a local area network in which LAN-enabled instruments and computers are connected to the network
through routers, hubs, and/or switches. They are typically large, centrally-managed networks with services such as
DHCP and DNS servers. The following figure illustrates a typical site LAN system.
1. Connect the instrument to the site LAN or to your computer using a LAN cable. The as-shipped instrument LAN
settings are configured to automatically obtain an IP address from the network using a DHCP server (DHCP is set
On). The DHCP server will register the instrument’s hostname with the dynamic DNS server. The hostname as well as
the IP address can then be used to communicate with the instrument. The front panel
LAN
indicator will come on
when the LAN port has been configured.
If you need to manually configure any instrument LAN settings, refer to Remote Interface Configuration
for information about configuring the LAN settings from the front panel of the instrument.
2. Use the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite to add the power supply and verify a
connection. To add the instrument, you can request the Connection Expert to discover the instrument. If the
instrument cannot be found, add the instrument using its hostname or IP address.
If this does not work, refer to “Troubleshooting Guidelines” in the Keysight Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Inter-
faces Connectivity Guide included with the Keysight IO Libraries Suite.
3. You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instrument, or you can
program your instrument using the various programming environments. You can also use the Web browser on your
computer to communicate with the instrument as described under
Remote Control .
A
private LAN
is a network in which LAN-enabled instruments and computers are directly connected, and not
connected to a site LAN. They are typically small, with no centrally-managed resources. The following figure
illustrates a typical private LAN system.
